We're back... This is your chance to prove not only your knowledge about the game of football but also your psychological insight by cracking the code of Josep Guardiola's master brain:
PREDICT BARCELONA'S STARTING LINE-UP
This is not (as in: N-O-T) a place for discussion on team tactics or personal player preferences. You just give the system and the eleven names you think will start the game against Athletic on Sunday.
You put them in the right position, so using the 4-3-3 (or whatever you think they will play) and putting the players from the right to the left, so the right back defender is your first name after the goalkeeper. If your line-up isn't clear, our interpretation counts.
Don't forget to add your (nick)name by clicking Name/URL under the comment box and fill it in, otherwise your after-game claim to glory will be dismissed.
You can give your starting line-up until four hours before the start of the game, in this case: until 6:00 pm barcelona time. Unless we decide otherwise.
If you give your line-up before Guardiola announes his match list (or if at least 20 players are included in the match list or if we decide so), you get one point for the correct line-up. If you do it after that announcement, you get half a point.
Your last line-up counts, injured players can be replaced at any time without losing your original points.
Who will have the most points at the end of the season, can call himself the winner.

Ba-Beka Said,
look at the 3 last players (Pedro , Bojan , Jeffren) .
Start of the Season and we already have three injured players , Messi , Henry and Ibra , imagine this same players injured 1/4 Champions League , or last 10 Games of La Liga ...
Barca Board should at least bring 4-5 experienced players .
Striker (1 or 2), Midfielder , Defense (1 Mid or Def) so then we can be competitive with the others .
There is my team of next match :
VV
Dani , Puyol , Pique , Abidal
Xavi , Yaya , Keita
Pedro , Bojan , Henry

Jigga Said,
Does any one have a link to watch this game live on sunday?I have got Sky Sports but they will not be showing it.
it depends on the fitness of Henry and Messi.If either or both of them are free,they will be in the starting eleven.If they are not,Guardiola would not take any unnecesary risks since we can wrap the tie up at the Camp Nou.
In the absence of Messi and Henry
The first eleven would be
Victor Valdes
Alves Puyol Pique Abidal
Xavi Toure Keita
Jefferen Bojan Pedro
Likely subs Busquets,Maxwell,gudjohnsen.
